This
summer I have been in Germany for one week to meet my e-mail friend Claudia. She
lives in a town called Diez. She is married to Mario and she has two adorable
kids - Keanu and Finny. Claudia is a very warm-hearted person so definitely
she is a very precious friend.

I have
stayed by her parents' house. This gave me the chance to meet all her family and
live with all of them some moments that I will never forget. With her mother,
called Ulrike, I have tried some Cyprus traditional recipes like pasticcio,
mousaka and fingers. With her brother Ralf, I have shared my problems and
concerns (like migraines, problems with sound, light and heat, science and
astronomy) as we are exactly the same in everything -Ralf my soul-mate!
Ralf and Claudia do not have so much in common even if they are siblings but
they are both very kind, caring and warm-hearted, as well as their parents and
Claudia's husband Mario.

I have
visited downtown Diez, another town very near Diez called Limburg, river Rhein,
the Niederwald monument, the Drosselgasse street and many forests. I have played
with Claudia's kids and enjoyed every minute with them as well as all her pets-
parrots, turtles, guinea pigs, dog, rabbits as well as Ralf's cats Madame Sissy
and Poly-the black panda.

Claudia
is learning greek and I find this idea very exciting. I was impressed by her
progress and pronunciation of the greek words. She is very smart and
fast-learning. Also Claudia took me to her horse called Chrysoulla and showed me
how is horse riding. This is a unique experience for me and I definitely loved
it.

I feel
very lucky to have a friend like Claudia. I am very glad that Internet can bring
people together. It is such a great experience to share your life with people
from abroad. Now I do not feel like a friend anymore. They were all so friendly
with me, that they made me feel like a member of their family. Coming back to
normal routine life feels like it was a magic dream and I suddenly woke up but I
hope I can continue this page soon by meeting the Dick family again soon!
